$35.18 Million was the amount contributed by India to the United Nations Regular Budget for 2026. The payment was made within the prescribed deadline, allowing India to be included in the UN’s honour roll of countries that cleared their assessed contributions in full and on time. This contribution supports the UN’s core functions such as peacekeeping, development initiatives, human rights work, and administrative operations. Timely payment also enhances India’s credibility as a responsible global stakeholder and underscores its commitment to multilateral cooperation and a rules-based international order.
